The Last Waltzrus
Way back in 2015, a stroke of genius led Rob & the proprietors of Walrus + Carpenter (Bridgeport, Ct) to host an evening celebrating The Band’s famed final performance at Winterland (San Francisco) on the eve of Thanksgiving, 1976. Over the years it grew and grew and has become one of the most well known shows in the area, celebrating the music of The Band.
